Some people didn't like Ian Malcom's change but personally I love it, he's still got the wit to him but it's tempered by a ton of PTSD and parental responsibilities, he takes life more seriously since his previous experience and that feels very realistic to me. He still makes jokes, but they've shifted to drier humour.
Also, Ian didn't run to the toilet and leave the kids, that was the lawyer that did that ^^ (the lawyer that got eaten by the T-Rex while sitting on the toilet) Ian was the one to pull out a flare to get the T-Rex away from the kid's car after Dr. Grant had done so as well (wasn't the smartest idea but he was still brave in that movie)
Running with the flare was an honest mistake. He saw what Grant was doing and tried to help. But didn’t know Grant’s plan or T-Rex behaviour. It was quite brave
@ARareBreedStory Absolutely understandable. No harm, no foul. It's just that Ian Malcolm did the exact opposite in that scene. He is one of the film's heroes. His only fault is hitting on Ellie which was innocent since he had to confirm with Alan.
@@ARareBreedStory "Every little detail" is a huge exaggeration. He was one of the best characters in a movie they watched recently, and they confused him for one of the worst characters. They even admitted to being bad with faces, it's ok.
RIP Eddy. I get sad watching him go every time I watch this movie. Him and Muldoon are the deaths I never get over, even after countless rewatches. The Lost World really is a much better movie than people give it credit for. Its main problem is that the first one set the bar so high, it was always going to be a terribly hard act to follow.
@@RR-ut3xl Ok I suspect was him, but i never pick up his name, but yes his death was sad because he was good at his job an not an idiot, the same as Edi,
Although I don't watch all of their reactions, I really like Spartan & Pudgey. They seem like nice people and they provide honest, thoughtful and sometimes insightful reactions.
No one watches every reaction from a channel. Not everyone is a fan of Star Wars, LotR, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, Game of Thrones, Peaky Blinders, The Walking Dead, Horror Movies or War-time movies, all at the same time to the same degree.
Eddie's death is the most gruesome death for someone that didn't deserve it (in all the movies). Guy was an MVP for legit fighting to save everyone til the very end
Its a very naive mistake people make when they think the sequels can capture the same "sense of wonder" the first part has, I mean what do you expect, you're watching the continuation of the first part, you already know there's a park filled with dinosaurs and so do most of the characters in the movie. You just have to appreciate the movie for being able to pick up where they left off. Even from a script writer's perspective you can't make another dinosaur movie with the exact same script especially if you're doing the next direct sequel. Its not easy to come up with ideas like that, and btw, that stegosaurus scene in the start actually gave a 'head nod' to capturing the "sense of wonder" that the first movie had when they see the brachiosaurus for the first time. This movie has Ian Malcolm as the star and he's a character known for chaos theory, that's the theme of this movie, that's why everything's chaotic and has a slightly different sense of direction than compared to the first one. This one had a slightly more darker tone. But either way, I'm glad you reacted to the movie, hope to see your reaction to part 3
They took everything that worked in the first and did it again in the end. Smart on their part. There's actually a cut scene of Roland defending a waitress that was being harassed by fighting a man with one hand tied behind his back. It adds a lot more to his character. The guy with the cowboy hat and denim jacket was an actual dinosaur expert that I remember seeing as a kid. He was honored to be killed by a T-Rex! The entire T-Rex rampage was just Spielberg having fun, and he has every right. "How many Sarah's do you think are on this island??" Gets me every time 😂 RIP Eddie, the true hero of the movie...
I believe the paleontologist was an actor but he was based on Dr. Robert T. Bakker. Bakker was the counterpart to Jack Horner, who Dr. Grant was largely based on. In the first movie, Tim discusses Bakkers book with Dr. Grant as well, it’s the one he says is way fatter than Grants
Names of the dinosaurs/creatures in order of appearance: Compsognathus, they are not babies. That's really their size Stegosaurus Gallimimus, from the first film Parasaurolophus, the head crest is said to use for communication Mamenchiasaurus, they are not the Brachiosaurus from the last movie. Their bodies are more straight and they have longer necks and tails Pachycephalosaurus Triceratops Tyrannosaurus-Rex Velociraptors Pteranodon
odd trivia fact: the stegosaurus is as far removed in time from T-Rex and his cretaceous compatriots as us. So stego's are as "old dinosaurs" for T-rex as T-rex are for us
The compys are in the first book and are venomous. They are responsible for Hammond’s death in the first book (his death is similar to Dieter Stark’s in this movie). They are even behind the darkest scene in the first book, where they can be seen eating an infant in its crib at a hospital in Costa Rica.
@@woeshaling6421 Not the same time There is more time between Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus (80 Million years) than between Tyrannosaurus and us (66 Million years)

"Isla Sorna" is Spanish for "Sarcasm Island." And because it's part of an island chain called "the Five Deaths," I like to think the island's name means "Death by Sarcasm."
They recently found a family group of T-Rex fossils that all died together, which pretty much proves they raised their young lived in large packs like wolves and lions.
Nice reaction - there were 2 prominent films in the 90s that each had a certain bravura sequence that was singled out in the reception, where the same filmmakers each did a follow-up film that basically took that bravura sequence and expanded it into a whole film, in each case getting mixed results. One of these sequences was the crack den scene in Jungle Fever, which director Spike Lee basically expanded into Clockers - and the other was the T-Rex sequence in Jurassic Park, which Spielberg expanded into this movie In both cases, I really appreciated what the directors were trying to do, and I was very impressed w the results - but in both cases the films fared less well w the public and critics alike - I think Clockers is one of Spike Lee's best films, and I also think Lost World is one of Spielberg's best - on the level of the filmmaking itself - this has several of maybe the best action setpieces ever filmed - and nothing matches Spielberg when he commits himself to full-blown action terror and thrills - I also loved Goldblum as an action lead However, I agree w Spartan in noticing a weird non-committal streak running thru the film - I think the film has lots of basic problems w the characters' behavior, which often borders on ridiculous implausibility - it's as if the screenplay was written to make the characters behave like sheer idiots, and that seriously undermines the film - I wondered how Spielberg ever approved such a script - then I figured he was probably aiming for a kind of screwball action-comedy effect, like maestro Howard Hawks - but Spielberg doesn't have Hawks' light touch, so that aspect fell flat - I think they wanted comedic Goldblum to carry that aspect, matching him w the brilliant Moore, and IMO this is what you're noticing in his weird detached quality - I like him a lot, and I like him as a comedic action star, but I think much of what they tried here fell a bit flat - Goldblum's best roles are in The Fly and Deep Cover, which perfectly blend his capacity for comedy and drama tho, overall, I felt the astonishing mastery of thrilling action and atmosphere far outweighed the plot and behavior issues - it's as if the whole film's color and lighting scheme adjusts itself to an almost hallucinatory level as the film progresses, to accommodate the corresponding rise in our adrenaline - I think Julianne Moore was cast for her landmark translucent turn in Safe, just so Spielberg could use that same translucency in his Argento-horror moment of her sprawled over the cracking glass - I thought this film was just a work of beauty, and it's one of the few films where I left the theatre at the end, breathless, only to immediately turn around and buy a ticket to see it again in the next screening
The book the first one was based on, they blew up the island at the end, there was nothing left of the park itself. One thing they left out that would've been cool to leave in: one of the dinosaur types on Site B was a camouflage dinosaur.
The sound design in this movie is phenomenal. John Williams's score (Which you don't hear for about 10minutes until Sarah Harding - Julianne Moore falls onto the glass) is immediately menacing.
The way that John Hammond's protoge died at the end, with the parent torturing him for the infant's sake is actually the way the first movie was supposed to end with John Hammond being the one who died in the original story by Michael Chriton. I really liked the change because it kept the very Santa Claus or Colonol Sanders kind of character they built for John in their version.
No, as I remember it John Hammond was killed by the 'compys' in the first book. In the books, their bite was toxic because they fed off of rotting flesh and even feces. His death was given to the douchey guy in this movie that kept shocking the little bastards.
@laurelg9586 I can understand. Chriton probably felt the same way when they did it. As for me, the book lacked an emotional appeal. The topic itself pushes us toward wonder and child like fantasy, but his interests are clearly in the cerebral and discovery aspects of story telling where he remains brilliant. Ian Malcom is a great example of his style. But when it lacks those things that people can lay hold of on a heart-felt level, they don't invest themselves into the story enough to hear the whole thing. John Hammonds character change was one such aspect. Another was the drawing on the possibilities of a relationship between Grant and Ellie and the dynamics of him and kids. These pull us in that specific way.
Fun fact: According to one of the earlier commentaries and even a documentary about the making of this film, the camp scene where Buck (male rex), tracks down the blood on the jacket, the actress for Kelly wasn't informed how the scene was going to go. She knew there was going to be action yes, but didn't know that the Buck head was going to be in the scene. So that attempt to scream was Real. Those tears were Real. She even looked at the crew and director, something actors don't usually do. Also, there was a whole thing of some of the Raptors getting on the ship but then attacking and killing the crew during transit. Some of it was supposedly filmed but scrapped or it was strictly storyboard.
4:48 this is still my favorite transition in movie history. Also, I love this movie but it has the most unnecessarily brutal and unfair kill in the whole franachise. Eddie was a hero and there was no need to do him this dirty. RIP sweet prince.
WHOA, did you just say Malcolm abandoned the kids in the first movie? That was the lawyer that got eaten. Malcolm used a flare and ran to distract the T-Rex from the kids' Jeep.
The Lost World is my second favorite film of the Jurassic saga (right after the first one). Plus for me it has the very best and most well-closed ending, and also my favorite scene from the entire franchise, which is the truck balancing on the reef, the best death scene (Eddie, of course) and the best villain + the most satysfying villain death (Ludlow)
"the lost world" was the name of a dinosaur movie back on the beginnings of cinema, they named it after that one. (Bluray commentaries:) The plot was originally going to come back to the first island and the barbasol canister, but Spielberg asked Michael Crichton to write his sequel and he wrote a very different story, Spielberg knew he had to make an entirely different story
Fun fact in the production of the movie the rexes got given nicknames dad Rex was Buck, mum Rex was Doe & baby was called Junior Also originally there was going to be a scene after the camera flash where the dino sticks it’s head in the house and eats the family but the director removed it because he felt it was too dark
Steven Spielberg makes cameos in some of his films. In the first Jurassic Park, he was on the dock looking up at the crate as the velociraptor was being 'delivered'. In this film, he is credited as "Popcorn Eating Man." I am embarrassed to say that it took me a seemingly million times of watching it before I found him.
I've never seen him either but I know David Koepp, the writer of the first two movies, has a cameo too. He's the random guy that gets eaten by the t-rex in san diego, and he's hilariously credited as "Unlucky bastard".
These are some of my favorite movies and I’ve watched countless behind the scenes stuff and I NEVER heard of these cameos until reading your comment lol
The little girl in the beginning is Camilla Belle 11:11 one of the best lines "how many Sarah's do you think are on this island?" 11:30 Steven Spielberg got so many letters from moms after the first movie saying they wish he would've put the Stegosaurus in the first movie cuz it was their kids favorite so he made sure to put it in this one lol 11:48 another great line lol 16:15 one of my favorite species the Pachycephalosaurs lol 20:30 that was the first time the girl playing Kelly saw the baby t-rex, and thats a fully portable animatronic 22:00 yep two T-Rexs both full size animatronics 23:24 this sequence is insane and really well done in my opinion, and Eddie is the mvp in this too 26:54 you'd do anything you'd have to in order to save your friends, i would lol 42:33 this is the closest Steven Spielberg got to direct a Godzilla movie. Theres a part where some Japanese people are running and one screams something that loosely translated is "I left Japan to get away from this shit!" Lol 43:32 that's the only part I hate about this movie 45:00 ugh those gas prices lol 45:18 theres an animal control truck with the cops lol
I saw this on opening night and the place was packed. The anticipation of the crowd was high, and the movie proved to be a 100% rousing crowd pleaser. It was one of my most fun nights at the movies. Interestingly, this movie actually does share some key plot points with H.G. Wells' original novel "The Lost World."
Yes, Eddie was the MVP, and something to remember about these films is that characters don't *earn* their deaths in this franchise, the only people that aren't really "on the menu" so to speak are kids.
I’ve been watching this movie since I was little and Roland Tembo was always my favorite character. A straightforward, no-nonsense, badass and a great white hunter who isn’t necessarily a villain. He and Robert Muldoon from the first film were always my favorite characters in the franchise. RIP to both Bob Peck and Peter Postelwaite!!!
If you’re interested there is a TON of extended lore involving all 5 islands in the island chain (both canon and non-canon). Definitely worth a few minutes on the wikis! Also in the game Jurassic World Evolution you can build parks on all 5 islands!
The tiny dinosaurs depicted in this movie are Compsognathus. They are small bipedal (two-legged), carnivorous (meat-eating), theropods (three-toed). At about the size depicted in the movie, they would be almost full-grown adults, not babies.
That actor was in Miami Vice. He was pretty slimy and funny. I think he also was with Don Johnson and Nash Bridges a bit. I'm old, so I saw the original in the 80s when it came out.
I was really young when the first JP was released, but I was the perfect age when this one came out to truly appreciate it. My mom loved this one too, so it was on a lot growing up. It's very nostalgic for me, maybe even moreso than the original.
Even to this day some reptiles make good mothers. Crocodilians will make a nest, and guard the eggs, helping them hatch two months later, even gently cracking the egg shell to help them out. The mom will watch over her young for about a year or two. Many types of python will coil around the eggs, and by twitching, the mom creates friction on her skin, increasing the temperature under her quite a few degrees compared to the air around them. She would stay coiled on them without food or drink (unless it rains on her) for about 10 weeks until the young hatch. Then they are on their own, but some hang near mom for about a week until they shed their first skins and start eating.
They recently found a group of T-Rex fossils that died together, and there were several individuals ranging from babies to adults suggesting they stuck together in large family units like wolves
Except Tyrannosaurus (like most Cretaceous therapods, especially maniraptoran dinosaurs) were more related to modern birds (which are also classified under the Maniraptoran order) than any other reptiles There is a saying that "All birds are dinosaurs but not all dinosaurs are birds)
In the original book, the Costa Rican military fire bombs Isla Nublar the minute the survivors are rescued. Oh, and Hammond is killed by compies (the dinosaurs that attack the girl at the start of this film)
32:05 Just to clarify the dinosaurs you’re referring to as babies are Compsognathus’ (or Compys for short) and are actually fully grown at that size, although I do understand that relative to us they are baby sized but they aren’t the babies of a larger species.
The reason this movie is more brutal and has more dinos is because Isla Nublar was the island from the first film where the park was built, and this island is Isla Sorna (otherwise known as Site B) which was a Jurassic Park compound facility and home to the surviving dinosaurs that were genetically engineered for the original park. If I recall correctly, I believe it was a hurricane that caused the island to be evacuated and relocated to Isla Nublar, leaving all the dinosaurs that remained on the island. The third movie also takes place on Sorna, while the new films pretty much bring it back to the roots with Masrani doing his best to relocate those that survived back to Nublar for "Jurassic World"
There’s a deleted scene set after Roland catches the baby T-Rex in which a drunken Ludlow falls on the baby, breaking its leg. Sadly, the way the movie is cut makes it seem like Roland did it, but he’s not actually cruel. Then at the end of course, the dad T-Rex crunches Ludlow’s leg before letting the baby kill him. But that earlier scene being cut kind of ruins the poetic justice.
I remember as a kid, Eddie's death traumatized me. It was the first time watching someone in film get torn in half and it was visceral. After that sequence, you'd then see plenty of torn-in-half/Lady & The Tramp death scenes in film a lot more often. But TLW did it the best. Geez.
I have the entire Jurassic Park and Jurassic World collection, I have to go back and watch this one and three. But would love to see you guys do the Jurassic Worlds as well!
17:18 as someone from a family that hunts for food and not just to kill something. What those guys were doing in that scene was very cruel. The #1 goal in hunting is to bring the animals down with the least amount of pain as well as to leave nothing to waste. It pisses me off when I hear about animals like elk or deer killed and the only thing taken is it’s antlers leaving all the meat to waste.
Except those scumbag, big game hunters that want to pose with a trophy of some poor animal that was put in front of them to let them shoot and pretend they are some kind of great white hunter.
I know, right? Totally with Pudgy on her reaction to Ian. He has been THROUGH it, both with origina dino-disaster & what he suffered for trying to tell the truth, and it changed him. He has earned his dread and his subdued personality - and he is heroic.
Another amazing reaction! Please keep reacting to the entire franchise!! Interesting fact: the way Stark is killed by the Compsognathus, “Compies”, is quite similar how an important character was slain in the original novel. I won’t spoil it in case you read the novel. 🦖💛❤️🖤
So, the little compys that swarmed the guy. Not so fun fun fact, but in the books those lil feisty creatures actually had venom, they'd paralyze, and stop blood clotting when they bite. So...imagine the guy bleeding out, slowly being unable to move by these numerous bites in his body. In the book he was still alive as they tore him apart helpless to stop it. Oh and in the books these nasty buggers ate a baby in its crib. 3 of them started with the face..yeah the nanny came in and saw them and scared them off but..too late. The raptors and these smaller ones are..definitely more terrifying than bigger ones
Jurassic Park was based on a novel written by Michael Crichton in 1990. He began writing the novel in 1983 and because he and Spielberg were friends, on a project they were working on together, Spielberg coaxed the story out of him and wanted to turn it into a film. The novel ends as a standalone novel, but after the film's success, Spielberg and fans wanted Crichton to write a direct sequel novel. Because Ian Malcolm doesn't die in the film version (like he does in the novel) Crichton retconned his death to make him the main character in the sequel novel. I like both novels and both films, but I'd love a remake film that more closely resembles the novel. It'd be rated R due to how graphic the deaths in the novels were.
Ian wasnt the guy that left the kids in te first movie he actually tried to save them but got injured. It was the stupid lawyer that ran for the toilet.
people shit on JP2 for no reason, it's honestly a lot better than people remember. sure, it's not the first one, but it's still got the cool 90s feel to it and jeff goldblum as a leading man. the 3rd one is probably my favorite of the all of the sequels but this one is not bad and i stand by that statement. excited to see you guys watch that one!
I've watched Jurassic Park: Lost World many times and Tyrannosaurs like these two can be extremely aggressive and territorial, and they didn't know that the people who fixed the baby rex's leg were good people but in their animal instincts they perceived them as threats regardless of being good or bad, their just doing what their instincts tell them
WOAH! WOAH! WOAAAAH!! 😮 IAN never "bailed on the kids" in the last movie! That was the lawyer Gennaro (who ended up getting chomped on the toilet bowl). Ian helped Dr Alan Grant, Lexie & Tim survive ny drawing the T-Rex away from the cars.
The Jurassic series, both park and world, are so good for rewatchability. Amazing you guys are giving them a lot and you definitely should watch the World series after the park series. 😁
What a lot of people miss about Roland is yes, he's a big game hunter but he's also really respectful and reasonable. In a deleted scene it shows Roland stepping in to take care of a group of guys hassling a waitress. Ajay was his best friend and hunting partner. People complained why did he only have 2 rounds on him, because Ajay would carry the ammo due to how heavy the rifle was. Roland had to be one of my favorite characters in the series along side Muldoon.
Personally the trilogy is a masterpiece for me. The first one stands alone and its timeless but I feel like 2 and 3 are great and I've always loved them growing up and watching them now feels super nostalgic and they hold up well and they're just good films honestly

Not really. The entire third act isn’t in the book and it was a really dumb action scene just for fun. But it’s fine.
I believe the paleontologist was an actor but he was based on Dr. Robert T. Bakker.
Bakker was the counterpart to Jack Horner, who Dr. Grant was largely based on.
In the first movie, Tim discusses Bakkers book with Dr. Grant as well, it’s the one he says is way fatter than Grants

Compsognathus, they are not babies. That's really their size
Stegosaurus
Gallimimus, from the first film
Parasaurolophus, the head crest is said to use for communication

Pachycephalosaurus
Triceratops

It's an idiotic argument because as any fule kno, _predators also scavenge!_ (e.g. Lions) _and scavengers can be predators!_ (e.g. Spotted Hyenas).
"Isla Sorna" is Spanish for "Sarcasm Island." And because it's part of an island chain called "the Five Deaths," I like to think the island's name means "Death by Sarcasm."
every movie cannot be "the best perfect film" but I was always entertained and enjoy seeing others first time watching
19:51 You see the bottle? Apparently in a deleted scene Peter Ludlow stumbled through the makeshift bait and broke the baby T-rex's leg while drunk.
Ian wasn't the one that bailed on the kids that was the lawyer guy

Nice reaction - there were 2 prominent films in the 90s that each had a certain bravura sequence that was singled out in the reception, where the same filmmakers each did a follow-up film that basically took that bravura sequence and expanded it into a whole film, in each case getting mixed results. One of these sequences was the crack den scene in Jungle Fever, which director Spike Lee basically expanded into Clockers - and the other was the T-Rex sequence in Jurassic Park, which Spielberg expanded into this movie
In both cases, I really appreciated what the directors were trying to do, and I was very impressed w the results - but in both cases the films fared less well w the public and critics alike - I think Clockers is one of Spike Lee's best films, and I also think Lost World is one of Spielberg's best - on the level of the filmmaking itself - this has several of maybe the best action setpieces ever filmed - and nothing matches Spielberg when he commits himself to full-blown action terror and thrills - I also loved Goldblum as an action lead
However, I agree w Spartan in noticing a weird non-committal streak running thru the film - I think the film has lots of basic problems w the characters' behavior, which often borders on ridiculous implausibility - it's as if the screenplay was written to make the characters behave like sheer idiots, and that seriously undermines the film - I wondered how Spielberg ever approved such a script
- then I figured he was probably aiming for a kind of screwball action-comedy effect, like maestro Howard Hawks - but Spielberg doesn't have Hawks' light touch, so that aspect fell flat - I think they wanted comedic Goldblum to carry that aspect, matching him w the brilliant Moore, and IMO this is what you're noticing in his weird detached quality
- I like him a lot, and I like him as a comedic action star, but I think much of what they tried here fell a bit flat - Goldblum's best roles are in The Fly and Deep Cover, which perfectly blend his capacity for comedy and drama
tho, overall, I felt the astonishing mastery of thrilling action and atmosphere far outweighed the plot and behavior issues - it's as if the whole film's color and lighting scheme adjusts itself to an almost hallucinatory level as the film progresses, to accommodate the corresponding rise in our adrenaline
- I think Julianne Moore was cast for her landmark translucent turn in Safe, just so Spielberg could use that same translucency in his Argento-horror moment of her sprawled over the cracking glass - I thought this film was just a work of beauty, and it's one of the few films where I left the theatre at the end, breathless, only to immediately turn around and buy a ticket to see it again in the next screening
The book the first one was based on, they blew up the island at the end, there was nothing left of the park itself. One thing they left out that would've been cool to leave in: one of the dinosaur types on Site B was a camouflage dinosaur.
The sound design in this movie is phenomenal. John Williams's score (Which you don't hear for about 10minutes until Sarah Harding - Julianne Moore falls onto the glass) is immediately menacing.
The way that John Hammond's protoge died at the end, with the parent torturing him for the infant's sake is actually the way the first movie was supposed to end with John Hammond being the one who died in the original story by Michael Chriton. I really liked the change because it kept the very Santa Claus or Colonol Sanders kind of character they built for John in their version.
It was Hammond nephew who stole the company from him. The trex wasn’t torturing Ludlow. It was teaching the infant to kill.
Technically it was thanks to the discovered piece of deleted media showing a drunk Ludlow tripped over the infant, breaking its leg.@@LudusAurea
No, as I remember it John Hammond was killed by the 'compys' in the first book. In the books, their bite was toxic because they fed off of rotting flesh and even feces. His death was given to the douchey guy in this movie that kept shocking the little bastards.
Never liked that they changed the character of John Hammond to a kindly old man...
@laurelg9586 I can understand. Chriton probably felt the same way when they did it. As for me, the book lacked an emotional appeal. The topic itself pushes us toward wonder and child like fantasy, but his interests are clearly in the cerebral and discovery aspects of story telling where he remains brilliant. Ian Malcom is a great example of his style. But when it lacks those things that people can lay hold of on a heart-felt level, they don't invest themselves into the story enough to hear the whole thing. John Hammonds character change was one such aspect. Another was the drawing on the possibilities of a relationship between Grant and Ellie and the dynamics of him and kids. These pull us in that specific way.
Fun fact: According to one of the earlier commentaries and even a documentary about the making of this film, the camp scene where Buck (male rex), tracks down the blood on the jacket, the actress for Kelly wasn't informed how the scene was going to go.
She knew there was going to be action yes, but didn't know that the Buck head was going to be in the scene. So that attempt to scream was Real. Those tears were Real. She even looked at the crew and director, something actors don't usually do.
Also, there was a whole thing of some of the Raptors getting on the ship but then attacking and killing the crew during transit. Some of it was supposedly filmed but scrapped or it was strictly storyboard.
4:48 this is still my favorite transition in movie history.
Also, I love this movie but it has the most unnecessarily brutal and unfair kill in the whole franachise. Eddie was a hero and there was no need to do him this dirty. RIP sweet prince.
Yeah, that was a great scene (the first one you mentioned).
WHOA, did you just say Malcolm abandoned the kids in the first movie? That was the lawyer that got eaten. Malcolm used a flare and ran to distract the T-Rex from the kids' Jeep.
fun fact. Richard Attenborough, who played John Hammond, was brother of David Attenborough, the narrator of many BBC Nature documentaries
Compies are not babies also they eat baby face in the 1st novel 💀
The Lost World is my second favorite film of the Jurassic saga (right after the first one). Plus for me it has the very best and most well-closed ending, and also my favorite scene from the entire franchise, which is the truck balancing on the reef, the best death scene (Eddie, of course) and the best villain + the most satysfying villain death (Ludlow)
"the lost world" was the name of a dinosaur movie back on the beginnings of cinema, they named it after that one.
(Bluray commentaries:) The plot was originally going to come back to the first island and the barbasol canister, but Spielberg asked Michael Crichton to write his sequel and he wrote a very different story, Spielberg knew he had to make an entirely different story
They used the Barbasol can story for the Telltale Game
@gergopiroska5749 yep, it was great
Fun fact in the production of the movie the rexes got given nicknames dad Rex was Buck, mum Rex was Doe & baby was called Junior
Also originally there was going to be a scene after the camera flash where the dino sticks it’s head in the house and eats the family but the director removed it because he felt it was too dark
Steven Spielberg makes cameos in some of his films. In the first Jurassic Park, he was on the dock looking up at the crate as the velociraptor was being 'delivered'. In this film, he is credited as "Popcorn Eating Man." I am embarrassed to say that it took me a seemingly million times of watching it before I found him.
I've never seen him either but I know David Koepp, the writer of the first two movies, has a cameo too. He's the random guy that gets eaten by the t-rex in san diego, and he's hilariously credited as "Unlucky bastard".
These are some of my favorite movies and I’ve watched countless behind the scenes stuff and I NEVER heard of these cameos until reading your comment lol
I haven’t seen this movie in a hot minute. But The scene of the T-Rex stomping around the city has always stuck with me.
Sarah Harding is supposed to be the daughter of the scientist from the first movie who was treating the sick triceratops.
The little girl in the beginning is Camilla Belle
11:11 one of the best lines "how many Sarah's do you think are on this island?"
11:30 Steven Spielberg got so many letters from moms after the first movie saying they wish he would've put the Stegosaurus in the first movie cuz it was their kids favorite so he made sure to put it in this one lol
11:48 another great line lol
16:15 one of my favorite species the Pachycephalosaurs lol
20:30 that was the first time the girl playing Kelly saw the baby t-rex, and thats a fully portable animatronic
22:00 yep two T-Rexs both full size animatronics
23:24 this sequence is insane and really well done in my opinion, and Eddie is the mvp in this too
26:54 you'd do anything you'd have to in order to save your friends, i would lol
42:33 this is the closest Steven Spielberg got to direct a Godzilla movie. Theres a part where some Japanese people are running and one screams something that loosely translated is "I left Japan to get away from this shit!" Lol
43:32 that's the only part I hate about this movie
45:00 ugh those gas prices lol
45:18 theres an animal control truck with the cops lol
I saw this on opening night and the place was packed. The anticipation of the crowd was high, and the movie proved to be a 100% rousing crowd pleaser. It was one of my most fun nights at the movies. Interestingly, this movie actually does share some key plot points with H.G. Wells' original novel "The Lost World."
This one and even 3 got hate…until the “new” ones dropped, now they seem like masterpieces. Same happened w Star Wars.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⚡🥃
Absolutely and great example. With SW prequels happened the same.
Right, but the first Jurassic World is actually good imo
@@TheVIVIT lol people trying to hate on it now it's the only one to the two jurassic movies to get positive reviews from audience and critics.
I always like 3 lol
It's a perfect mess😛
Yes, Eddie was the MVP, and something to remember about these films is that characters don't *earn* their deaths in this franchise, the only people that aren't really "on the menu" so to speak are kids.
I’ve been watching this movie since I was little and Roland Tembo was always my favorite character. A straightforward, no-nonsense, badass and a great white hunter who isn’t necessarily a villain. He and Robert Muldoon from the first film were always my favorite characters in the franchise. RIP to both Bob Peck and Peter Postelwaite!!!
Me: I Know
Her: I knarryyyyeeeerrruuuhhhh
Me: oh my Gosh
Her: oh my Gorrrrreeeerrshshsh
Me: Don't!
Her: Doyyyyyyyyyyyuuunnt!
Love it! ❤️
If you’re interested there is a TON of extended lore involving all 5 islands in the island chain (both canon and non-canon). Definitely worth a few minutes on the wikis! Also in the game Jurassic World Evolution you can build parks on all 5 islands!
"We had enough of Sarah" was exactly most people reactions.
The tiny dinosaurs depicted in this movie are Compsognathus. They are small bipedal (two-legged), carnivorous (meat-eating), theropods (three-toed). At about the size depicted in the movie, they would be almost full-grown adults, not babies.
Ian didn’t bail on the kids in the first one, that was the slimey lawyer that got eaten whilst in the toilet 😂 best scene
That actor was in Miami Vice. He was pretty slimy and funny. I think he also was with Don Johnson and Nash Bridges a bit. I'm old, so I saw the original in the 80s when it came out.
44:42 Dude made the funniest death sound in a movie
Thats the screenwriter for this and the first movie
He is labeled as "unlucky bastard" in the credits
Pudgey: "Insurance doesn't cover that." lol Hilarious.
Dino Crisis Insurance Co. 😂
Lost World has always been my favorite (I know it's not the best but the replay ability is great)
it is the best, when you don't have pussies in your ear whining about it
I was really young when the first JP was released, but I was the perfect age when this one came out to truly appreciate it. My mom loved this one too, so it was on a lot growing up. It's very nostalgic for me, maybe even moreso than the original.
The scene where the daughter swings and does the kick, epic.
I love that look and the comment..."Oh...I'll travel alright'
Hilarious!! 😂😂
cant wait to watch 3rd one and the whole jurassic world franchise
Even to this day some reptiles make good mothers. Crocodilians will make a nest, and guard the eggs, helping them hatch two months later, even gently cracking the egg shell to help them out. The mom will watch over her young for about a year or two. Many types of python will coil around the eggs, and by twitching, the mom creates friction on her skin, increasing the temperature under her quite a few degrees compared to the air around them. She would stay coiled on them without food or drink (unless it rains on her) for about 10 weeks until the young hatch. Then they are on their own, but some hang near mom for about a week until they shed their first skins and start eating.
Yes they are good parents and don't abort the next generation.🤔
@@mikealvarez2322no they just eat their live young that are weak or disabled. Muuuuuch better 🙄🙄
They recently found a group of T-Rex fossils that died together, and there were several individuals ranging from babies to adults suggesting they stuck together in large family units like wolves
Except Tyrannosaurus (like most Cretaceous therapods, especially maniraptoran dinosaurs) were more related to modern birds (which are also classified under the Maniraptoran order) than any other reptiles
There is a saying that "All birds are dinosaurs but not all dinosaurs are birds)
In the original book, the Costa Rican military fire bombs Isla Nublar the minute the survivors are rescued. Oh, and Hammond is killed by compies (the dinosaurs that attack the girl at the start of this film)
Right. But 2 and 3 are Isla Sorna.
Lol at 15:10 I knew what Spartan was gonna say before he said it, and I knew what Pudgey was gonna say before she said it. Classic.
32:05 Just to clarify the dinosaurs you’re referring to as babies are Compsognathus’ (or Compys for short) and are actually fully grown at that size, although I do understand that relative to us they are baby sized but they aren’t the babies of a larger species.
The reason this movie is more brutal and has more dinos is because Isla Nublar was the island from the first film where the park was built, and this island is Isla Sorna (otherwise known as Site B) which was a Jurassic Park compound facility and home to the surviving dinosaurs that were genetically engineered for the original park. If I recall correctly, I believe it was a hurricane that caused the island to be evacuated and relocated to Isla Nublar, leaving all the dinosaurs that remained on the island. The third movie also takes place on Sorna, while the new films pretty much bring it back to the roots with Masrani doing his best to relocate those that survived back to Nublar for "Jurassic World"
There’s a deleted scene set after Roland catches the baby T-Rex in which a drunken Ludlow falls on the baby, breaking its leg. Sadly, the way the movie is cut makes it seem like Roland did it, but he’s not actually cruel. Then at the end of course, the dad T-Rex crunches Ludlow’s leg before letting the baby kill him. But that earlier scene being cut kind of ruins the poetic justice.
I remember as a kid, Eddie's death traumatized me. It was the first time watching someone in film get torn in half and it was visceral. After that sequence, you'd then see plenty of torn-in-half/Lady & The Tramp death scenes in film a lot more often. But TLW did it the best. Geez.
I have the entire Jurassic Park and Jurassic World collection, I have to go back and watch this one and three. But would love to see you guys do the Jurassic Worlds as well!
Did you note the connection with Conan Doyle's famous novel THE LOST WORLD in the character named ROXTON? A Hunter.
17:18 as someone from a family that hunts for food and not just to kill something. What those guys were doing in that scene was very cruel. The #1 goal in hunting is to bring the animals down with the least amount of pain as well as to leave nothing to waste. It pisses me off when I hear about animals like elk or deer killed and the only thing taken is it’s antlers leaving all the meat to waste.
Except those scumbag, big game hunters that want to pose with a trophy of some poor animal that was put in front of them to let them shoot and pretend they are some kind of great white hunter.
As long as you aren't expecting it to be the first one, this one still holds up as a fun return to the island.
New dinos were well done too.
I love that they were the most shocked/pissed off about Eddies death lol
Ian was proactive throughout the whole movie. What do you mean he didn't have main character energy??? lol
I know, right? Totally with Pudgy on her reaction to Ian. He has been THROUGH it, both with origina dino-disaster & what he suffered for trying to tell the truth, and it changed him. He has earned his dread and his subdued personality - and he is heroic.
Yay! I've got something fun to do when I get home from work! 💜
The baby T'-Rex was bait to draw the parents out... just like Sarah was bait to draw Ian to the island 😂
Another amazing reaction! Please keep reacting to the entire franchise!! Interesting fact: the way Stark is killed by the Compsognathus, “Compies”, is quite similar how an important character was slain in the original novel. I won’t spoil it in case you read the novel. 🦖💛❤️🖤
I remember that scene when Sarah fell on the glass. Everyone in the theaters held their breath.
So, the little compys that swarmed the guy. Not so fun fun fact, but in the books those lil feisty creatures actually had venom, they'd paralyze, and stop blood clotting when they bite. So...imagine the guy bleeding out, slowly being unable to move by these numerous bites in his body. In the book he was still alive as they tore him apart helpless to stop it.
Oh and in the books these nasty buggers ate a baby in its crib. 3 of them started with the face..yeah the nanny came in and saw them and scared them off but..too late. The raptors and these smaller ones are..definitely more terrifying than bigger ones
Jurassic Park was based on a novel written by Michael Crichton in 1990. He began writing the novel in 1983 and because he and Spielberg were friends, on a project they were working on together, Spielberg coaxed the story out of him and wanted to turn it into a film. The novel ends as a standalone novel, but after the film's success, Spielberg and fans wanted Crichton to write a direct sequel novel. Because Ian Malcolm doesn't die in the film version (like he does in the novel) Crichton retconned his death to make him the main character in the sequel novel. I like both novels and both films, but I'd love a remake film that more closely resembles the novel. It'd be rated R due to how graphic the deaths in the novels were.
Love this one! the first two movies in this series are 2 of my all time favorites
44:17 I love the difference in your reactions to this scene. Pudgey: 😮 Spartan: 😀
27:40 RIP MVP
Enjoyed the reaction as usual.
I just noticed that Pudgy's snickering laugh is very sinister. lol 😅 I think it's cute.
Ian wasnt the guy that left the kids in te first movie he actually tried to save them but got injured. It was the stupid lawyer that ran for the toilet.
26:00 she really asked "why is it always raining on these islands"😂😂😂😂😂 Aussies never heard of rainforests of central and South America??
“Eddie is the real MPV”
*immediately ripped in half and eaten*
people shit on JP2 for no reason, it's honestly a lot better than people remember. sure, it's not the first one, but it's still got the cool 90s feel to it and jeff goldblum as a leading man. the 3rd one is probably my favorite of the all of the sequels but this one is not bad and i stand by that statement. excited to see you guys watch that one!
Jurassic World was AS GOOD as the first movie, and is a true sequel to the original...!! Defo Watch that one!
-Movie clearly states exactly whats happening-
Pudgey: "Omg what's happening?!"
😂😭🤣
Eddie's scream been haunting me for soon to be 3 decades now...
I've watched Jurassic Park: Lost World many times and Tyrannosaurs like these two can be extremely aggressive and territorial, and they didn't know that the people who fixed the baby rex's leg were good people but in their animal instincts they perceived them as threats regardless of being good or bad, their just doing what their instincts tell them
5:30, glad they got that cameo.
I was 9 when I saw this back in 97, haven't seen a scarier one since.
Yes! I don't get why this movie gets so much hate. It's great. Not as good as the original but close.
WOAH! WOAH! WOAAAAH!!
😮
IAN never "bailed on the kids" in the last movie! That was the lawyer Gennaro (who ended up getting chomped on the toilet bowl). Ian helped Dr Alan Grant, Lexie & Tim survive ny drawing the T-Rex away from the cars.
Those small dinosaurs aren’t babies and there called compies
The Jurassic series, both park and world, are so good for rewatchability. Amazing you guys are giving them a lot and you definitely should watch the World series after the park series. 😁
Fun fact, the British father in the beginning is the voice actor for Zaeed Massani from Mass Effect!
That's one of the biggest things I remember from this moviewas the man Eddie MVP dies a legend a number one hero
What a lot of people miss about Roland is yes, he's a big game hunter but he's also really respectful and reasonable. In a deleted scene it shows Roland stepping in to take care of a group of guys hassling a waitress. Ajay was his best friend and hunting partner. People complained why did he only have 2 rounds on him, because Ajay would carry the ammo due to how heavy the rifle was. Roland had to be one of my favorite characters in the series along side Muldoon.
Who in right mind would be wearing headphones listening to music with t-rex running loose?
Spartan & Pudgey Such A Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
"you need to travel a bit more" hahaha, GAME TIMEEEE
I freaking love you two.

Jurassic World Rebirth will launch in July 2025
Personally the trilogy is a masterpiece for me. The first one stands alone and its timeless but I feel like 2 and 3 are great and I've always loved them growing up and watching them now feels super nostalgic and they hold up well and they're just good films honestly
glad to see you guys enjoyed this movie! I honestly love alle the jurassic park movies, even the new ones!
